Trading Spouses
In early 2004, ABC announced a U.S. version of the British show Wife Swap, to be called Trading Moms, having outbid Fox Network for the rights for the format in the U.S. In June the same year, Fox publicized a program with an almost identical format to Wife Swap entitled Trading Spouses, which it began broadcasting on July 1. ABC then reverted to the original UK title for their series, which began on September 26. In December 2004, RDF Media sued Fox for copyright infringement for reproducing...
Gay swap
In November 2005, series participant Jeffrey Bedford sued ABC for over $10 million for trading his wife for a gay man. He accused ABC of being dishonest, not allowing him contact with his wife and making him miss his lessons at college. He claimed that, when he ceased participating with the production of the episode, ABC threatened that it would not tell him his wife's whereabouts and would not pay for his wife's return home. An ABC spokesman revealed that the contract stated the spouse could...
Alicia Guastaferro
In March 2010, Alicia Guastaferro sued ABC for $100 million, claiming that her appearance and depiction on a 2008 episode of Wife Swap led to her public embarrassment and that she suffered from panic attacks and suicidal tendencies as a result. Guastaferro alleged that many of the scenes that depicted her as a "spoiled brat" were staged and that she had been purposely asked to "act a little more spoiled."The lawsuit was settled out of court later that same year and the terms were not disclose...
Controversies
The only episode of the original series to feature a same-sex couple aired in 2004, with the lesbian Boone-Luffey family swapping with the conservative Christian Gillespie family. The Gillespies' wife, Kris, called the Boone-Luffeys' relationship "depraved" and implied that the lesbian wife sent to her house was a sexual predator. The episode created controversy, particularly within the LGBT community. In a 2005 episode, the Wiggins family (who were Black) swapped wives with the Felix family...
Spolansky/Bradley
The second ever episode in 2004 was unusual in that it featured a New York City multi-millionaire, Jodi Spolansky, who swapped lives with Lynn Bradley, a woman from rural New Jersey who chopped wood for a living. Lynn left the Spolansky household early due to the disrespect she felt she was getting from Jodi's husband Steven. The couples later appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, where Steven apologized and offered to do a day of Lynn's wood chopping duties.
Stockdale family murders
A 2009 episode featuring the Stockdale family later became notorious when one of the sons, Jacob Stockdale, murdered his mother and brother in 2017. The Stockdales, who performed in a family bluegrass band, were depicted as sheltered and deeply religious on the show.
